Excellent camera. The HD is excellent. Low light performance is somewhat grainy. I would buy it again!
I bought the camera for home and travel use. It makes super pictures, very easy to use and to hold. Sound is ok. The screen is great. Small battery will hold for 2-3 hours only charges on the camera - no separate battery charger; There are cheaper camcord

I really love this camcorder. Samll, but not to small. High quality videos and pictures. You can't go wrong with Canon.
After reviewing several similiar camcorders, the Canon Vixia HG20 was an easy choice. I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this camcorder. So far it has delivered all that it promised and more!
Love this Cam. so far. Only had it a few weeks so I'm still learning more about it. The shots have been great and the picture is top notch. Beats using tape or mini dvd. I would recommend getting another battery with this. And I would also buy a shou

It is a great gift to my parents! It can save the happy time of my family.
Recieved this camera without having had a camcorder previously. The hg20 allows you to basically pick it up and start recording. Very easy to operate. Instruction manual is also helpful. Video's are amazing, and I was also impressed with the soun

This is an amazing camcorder. Very compact, powerful, and a lot of features/settings. Produces video quality second to none. I would recommend buying a second battery if you will be using the camera for extended periods of time.
I could not believe how easy this camera was to use. When you get new cameras often the thick book of instructions is very intimidating, but within a half hour I was using this camera like I had it for a long time. The pictures-- both still and video w
I purchased this camera a couple weeks before Christmas and about a month before my son was born. I have not had any problems with it and have been very happy with the picture quality and ease of use. I am somewhat tech savy, but my wife can easily use
After doing much research on various internet tech sites I had my choice narrowed to the Sony HDR-SR11 and Canon Vixia HG20. I chose the Canon because it was rated higher for its picture quality and it was slightly cheaper, the two things that were most i
This is a great camcorder, very easy to use and has the picture quality we were looking for. It was an extensive search, so we think we found the right item for our video's. I'm not much for editing so I can't speak to the software portion,
The best camera I evre had! GREAT! Canon as always is on top! It lacks a viewfinder but this makes the camera cheaper! Evem though I do not need the viewfinder.
Its a great camcorder for hi definition 1080p shoot or everyday average use.easy to use and excellent video quality even in easy mode setting.60 gig hardrive great for capturing anything all day long,additional advantage SD card slot.(must get class 4 or
Unbelievably crisp video quality. Easy to use. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the software bundled with the camera. Garbage. I'm going to invest in a home digital video software bundle. The camera itself is wonderful.
I just received my Canon HG20 camcorder two days ago, first I had a great experience with the seller as I got my item the day it was supposed to be shipped (5 days in advance). First when doing my homework, I was hesitating between the SONY SR11 and the C
Pros: High Quality, great value, light, compact, easy to use, plenty of storage space Cons: Battery has a slight amount of wiggle room Note: Battery lasts a couple hours before needing to be charged, so you may need to purchase additional batteries to ena
I have owned the HG20 for one week and am amazed with the clarity of the HD picture especially in low-light conditions. Definitely need a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for playback to LCD TV's. Very happy with the performance. Autofocus is very smooth.
I am discovering the joy of recording events for posterity... The camcorder is easy to use and produces excellent video.
The Camera is AWESOME. The image quality is breathtaking. The physical size of the camera is very reasonable, easy to carry. Just a note for those who may want to record in high definition but do not have HD equipment. You will need a software to convert
I got this small baby about a month back from Amazon for an excellent deal. I spent some good hours on this by trying both video and photo in almost all the available setting. Pros : Picture quality is amazing. I assure you that you can't get better
I did a ton of research on High definition camcorders and settled on the Canon Vixia HG20 HDD. The camera is easy to use, the pictures look great, and the hard drive has tons of space - even at the highest quality setting. I have a Mac, and the video cl

I purchased this camera about 2 months ago. It works fine. Especially using the vivid filter and cine mode. I am reporting a problem with a broken headphone jack which I sent back to Canon for a FREE repair. It came back in 7 days and in one piece. Tha
This is my first camcorder and I'm more than pleased with the overall quality. The picture settings are quite versatile. If you're interested in fine tuning the white balance, focus settings, audio settings, etc., you have the option. If you
I got my HG20 camcorder on Thanksgiving sale with free battery pack (BP 827). I'm really impressed with the performance so far. Video and audio quality is top notch, both outdoor and indoor (with normal lighting). I connected it with my Samsung 4061
I've always been a Sony guy when it comes to video, but I use Canon for my stills. I decided to try the Canon this time for video and I'm more than satisfied. The video quality is very sharp and detailed, and the auto white balance helps captu
Received the my camcorder HG20 from Amazon today. It's a great camcorder. I bought it from Amazon, as Amazon was offering most cheapest price for this Camcorder. Almost $350 less than retail price, which was amazing. Initially I decided to buy a stan
You can not base your review of the camera only on the editing software that comes with the camera. All HD camera's come with just basic editing software which do not take advantage of hardware. I purchased this camera 2 weeks ago, connect directly t
Great camera. The biggest flaw is not the 60 gb drive which is bigger than you will ever need, or the menu interface which is easy, intuitive and user friendly, the biggest flaw is the lack of the view finder on this camera. Big deal you say, its got a
I got this camera today, I wanted to get HG10 as it is cheaper, but I went with this one as it has higher Hard Disk capacity with small price difference. The first test video taken was indoors and with low light, I noticed lot of dots in the frame, howeve

Bought this camcorder before X'mas 2008. Got it at excellent price ~$599. I like the camcorder a lot. Picture quality is excellent, can't complain about 60GB HDD. But the standard Canon software is inadequate. Have researched several software an
AMAZING!! true HD video, very Good for lowlight when shooting at night. Picture printout GOOD just only 3 Mb pix.
My wife and I researched several camcorders. The reviews for the Canon VIXIA HG 20 had good reviews compared to others and it had the best price. We have had it for a month and we have used it frequently. We both agree that we made the best choice. Th
The picture quality is amazing but the sound is vulnerable to slight wind. I kept reading that editing is difficult. Avchd also known as m2ts files can be difficult to work if you don't have the right software. If you have the latest Adobe Premiere y
